On Windows, we can build with both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers, but the
Python is either 32-bit or 64-bit. Check the architecture of the found
Python libraries and don't use them if they don't match our
build_machine.
Also skip the tests if the Python 3 dependency is not found.
Unlike Linux and OS X, when a library is loaded, all the symbols aren't
loaded into a single namespace. You must fetch the symbol by iterating over
all loaded modules.
So, we shouldn't use /FORCE:UNRESOLVED since that is not what modules do
on Windows. Instead, we now do exactly what GModule does on Windows.
Also use `void` for functions that take no arguments.
Using 'mesonbuild' as the module can cause it to use the
system-installed module and can also break if we rename the directory,
so avoid that by always using relative imports.
This is already how it should've been, but:
a) The test for this was wrong since Dependency is a base class for all
dependencies and isinstance on an InternalDependency will also be true
b) Internal dependencies can't ever be used here anyway because compiler
checks are always run at configure time and internal dependencies are
only built after that.
Also did a bit of cleanup.
interpreter.py: There’s a catch all except clause at the line 1928, it didn’t give the user any information whatsoever about the exception it caught. Now it at least print it to the log as a warning.
Just checking that the version retrieved from the pkg-config file
matches is not enough. It's nearly tautological since it just checks
that we aren't returning garbage in dep.version(). Instead, check in the
test executable that the pkg-config version retrieved matches the
ZLIB_VERSION exported by zlib.
Also don't require zlib 1.2.8 since RHEL (EPEL) 7 still has 1.2.7 and we
don't really need 1.2.8 anyway.
When generating the .gir file we need g-ir-scanner to link the
introspector binary against the right dependencies, for that
we used to use the --library option but this has a special meaning
and the libs passed in there end up being the ones in the .gir file
itself, which is not what we want.
A new --extra-library option is beeing added in goject-introspection
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774625) to handle our use case
(ie. not using libtool which allows g-ir-scanner to know about those)
and we should make use of it.
